Kids Should Never Be in Charge of Anything

Take a look at this photo, please:

See anything odd about it?

Couple of things have happened here:

• Someone has put a rolling pin in my t-shirt drawer. (And lined my t-shirt drawer with ugly shelf paper)
• Someone has put my t-shirts in the drawer in the kitchen with the dish rags and rolling pin
• A kid was asked to put away clean and folded laundry and this is what s/he came up with as a solution

If you guessed the last two, why, you get a prize! And now maybe you can tell me why one of my kids decided that my t-shirts were not worthy to be in my drawer anymore.

1. Maybe the kid(s) are trying to create a teachable moment for you: if you don’t want your t-shirts stored and eventually used as kitchen rags, you should put them away.

2. Possible.

   But much more likely that they stacked everything in a pile and shoved them in the kitchen drawer.

3. Wait, what?  You’re susposed to put clothing away in drawers?  I thought that’s what plastic baskets and the floor were for.

4. Plastic baskets are “pre-storage” units. Clean laundry must sit and ferment in them for at least a week before it can be touched and possibly folded by mere mortals.

   If you fold clean laundry prematurely, it goes bad apparently.

   I actually don’t mind washing or even folding the laundry. But I *loathr* putting it away in drawers and closets and in dressers. So tedious.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
